Wonder how much others have. I am in W. Suffolk.
Got up about ¼ to 8 and it was pouring but we now have about ½ - 1" of settled snow and still coming down fairly steady so the local radio is full of 'this road difficult' and 'this & that cancelled' etc

I live on the Cotswolds and we have about five inches of snow and still more coming down although not as heavy as earlier.
Took my golden retriever down to the fields and she went potty and zoomed and zoomed. Trouble is that I couldn't go too far as it's exhausting walking on sloping ground in such deep snow.
First snow the dog has seen as the last proper snowfall was the 2012/13 winter.

NONE.  But we have heavy winds which have knocked over pretty much all my covered pots in the garden - sails in the wind.   Only once in 9 years down here have we had any snow and that was there one minute and gone the next.   I'm sure there's a covering up on the moors, Exmoor, Dartmoor and Bodmin however.

I don't envy you really although it is pretty to look at from a warm indoors.  Trouble is the UK can't DO snow - it's usually wet, heavy and almost impossible to shovel.    I could move the snow from immediately outside where we have lived, with a corn broom until I got down to digging paths in the garden for the hounds (males, ouch) to use.  It was so cold the snow sifted across the roads like sand

None here either. Had torrential rain and high winds. Rain now stopped. Wind has eased a little but it's not got very cold

In Derbyshire there's not been as much as we were expecting, but it's just started coming down fast, in much bigger flakes and is sticking.

We had a couple of hours very light snow, but that soon turned to drizzle.  Don't get to see much snow really, I'm not sure that I'd like to live up north.

In South Lanarkshire. No snow bit it's -3 here and everything is glittering with frost. My absolute favourite actually. No ice as the pavements are dry, no snow so no snow clags in poodle legs, and the mud is frozen solid.

No snow here in Fife but a very hard frost

Birmingham North side about 4-5 inches...........and still coming down although not as heavy as earlier. The airport was closed but I believe open again now.

No snow on the I.O.W., lots of rain, winds of 60mph, probably higher at The Needles just down the road & freezing temps.
Looks like we won't be up on the scaffolding tomorrow in our attempts to paint the house, it's our fault about the weather since it was good up until two weeks ago when the scaffolding went up, & sooo cold since the paint won't cure, sorry folks.

Lacy this is a relief to me. I had wondered if my tuneless festive "singing" was at fault :lol: :grin:
